Java chess engine that accept commands from XBoard and can communicate with it. You can play with Engine on Xboard GUI or watch the game between Engine(my) and Fairy_Max5.0("Xboard Engine").
For run this engine you need download Xboard 4.8 or newer
- Drag the piece you want to move.
- Drop the dragged piece on the target and if the move is legal piece will move.
- Click on the piece you want to move.
- Click on the destination square and if the move is legal the piece will stack below the target.
Linux

If you wanna play with my Engine, you have to write in the terminal.
xboard -fcp "make run"
If you wanna watch the game between Engine(my) and Fairy_Max5.0("Xboard Engine"), you have to write in the terminal.
xboard -fcp "make run" -scp "fairymax" -secondInitString "new\nrandom\nsd 2\n" -tc 5 -inc 2 -autoCallFlag true -mg 10 -sgf partide.txt -reuseFirst false
I worked on this project for less than week
The board is like an 8 * 8 matrix, each piece is a separate object.
In start of the game all pieces are each in their place like in Xboard, when Engine receives a command from Xboard it procesing and return the answer.
The algorithm that I used is Minimax Alpha Beta and Simplified Evaluation Function that calculate the maximum favorable move for Engine.
- make GUI for Engine.
